Shopper Reviews

Really good, best in the series

One, if not the, best game in the Dracula series. The settings are marvellous, the story is original and engaging. Nice puzzles as well. The first 3 Dracula games are the best and this is the coronation of the trilogy. Recommended.

Good writing

This is a classic 2D "point and click" adventure game with all its limitations. You play the role of a catholic priest in his search of the infamous count in the Europe of post World War II. The "background part" of the game is excellent: locations, atmosphere, historical documentation, dramatic progress, dialogues... But the "gameplay part" is not so good, and that's mainly for one reason: it's puzzles are often so cryptic that you will likely need to browse trough some internet walkthrough more often than fair gaming advices. So if you appreciate a good story and don't mind about cheating a bit, you can't try it. It surely won't disappoint you.

Lots of occult themes

The game is well made, but I personally really dislike how much horror/occult imagery there is in the game. I have to say, the story is quite sophisticated and carefully done, the dialogue clever; I just don't like to be that immersed in dark and troubling imagery.
